First Model Brunswick Rifle (673)

The first percussion rifle adopted by the
British and approved in 1837. The original was a 2 grooved barrel shooting a
belted ball in .62 caliber, but when production started the caliber was
changed to .70 so they could shoot a musket ball if needed. The barrel is 30
3/16". Many thanks to William Marean who supplied us the pattern rifle and
research for this project. These rifles remained in use until the 1850’s. We
also have the Russian version of this rifle listed later in this catalog.
Bayonets for this rifle are listed in the bayonet section.
